The cars will be delivered to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence army units, the Vinnitsa Regional Clinical Hospital, and the Kupyansk Council Territorial Medical Association, according to a government statement.
— a Latvian NGO that delivers vehicles to Ukraine — who will donate them to the Ukrainian military and hospitals.
"It's actually very scary when you realize how many cars are driving around with drunk drivers," Reinis Poznaks, founder of the NGO Twitter Convoy in association with Agendum, told Reuters"No one expected that people are drunk-driving so many vehicles, they can't sell them as fast as people are drinking. So that's why I came with the idea — send them to Ukraine," Poznaks said.
The eight cars are just the first to be dispatched to Ukraine, as two hundred cars were seized from drivers with blood alcohol levels over 0.15% in two months, according to Reuters. Authorities in the country said they would give the organization two dozen cars every week.
